So I made it safely. I will put up a long post with pictures when I am not restriced to expensive hotel internet.
All I can say is that tea at the Poetry Cafe is as good as ever, and The Crown still serves up the best beer I've had in all the world. I do miss the Joyce Crew, but I am getting over it. Finding a new crew. It's a small world after all.
More to come, rest assured.
Cheers.
